McCombs replaces Beth O'Boyle, who recently accepted the head coaching
position at VCU after guiding the Seawolves to a 24-9 record and a WNIT bid
this past season.

"We are thrilled to welcome Caroline to Stony Brook as the leader of our
women's basketball program," Heilbron said. "Our goal is to build a
championship caliber program that contends for America East titles and NCAA
Tournament berths on an annual basis. I believe that Caroline brings the
experience and vision that will allow the Seawolves to reach new heights.

"More importantly, Caroline demonstrated an ability and desire to be a mentor
to young women, and she embraces our mission to develop leaders on the court
and in the classroom. I am excited for each of our student-athletes who will
now have the opportunity to excel athletically and academically under her
leadership."

McCombs spent the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons as an assistant coach and
recruiting coordinator at Auburn.
